Kimi no Sekai Kara Watashi ga Kiete mo.

I never minded resorting to deception, so long as it brought a smile to your face. I willingly accepted my role as nothing more than a substitute, because standing by your side was the only thing that mattered to me. When you lost everything, I convinced myself that being your sole remaining anchor was reason enough to stay. I told myself that this quiet, one-sided devotion would be enough—that sacrificing my own authenticity for your comfort was a price I could bear without hesitation. Yet, beneath that fragile resolve, an unspoken truth began to unravel the very foundation of our bond. What started as a selfless act of devotion slowly revealed itself to be something far more complicated. The illusion I built to protect you from your grief became a cage for us both, blurring the lines between genuine affection and desperate pretense. As the weight of living a lie grew heavier, the delicate balance we shared began to fracture. I believed I had made peace with fading into the background of your life, but the reality of disappearing entirely from your world proved to be a burden far greater than I ever anticipated.
